Big Sucker, I Am
I am SUCH a gump.
I'm listening to this radio show right now called "Don't Touch That Dial" on KPFK, and usually it plays old radio dramas- those are totally fun to listen to sometimes. Well, tonight they have guests and they're talking about this author of pulp fiction named Ron Hubbard. Hmm- never heard of him. These people are CREAMING THEIR FUCKING JEANS over this guy. "He was an incredible human being and an adventour and a genius and yadda yadda yadda." I swear to god I hadn't put together the *connection.*
Then they talked about how every Saturday night they have actors perform different stories of his, and they get semi-big actors (last week was David Carridine from Kung-Fu) and all this only cost 5 bucks WITH free parking. I'm thinking, "holy shit, that sounds like a ton of fun, I'm gonna go!" And then one of them fucked up and let slip the L. "L Ron Hubbard really cares about his characters!"
My dick went SO limp.
Then I checked out some of the sites they mentioned:
www.writersofthefuture.com (Maybe Oon can enter this contest!)
www.authorservicesinc.com
Wat a bunch of fucking fuck nuts. :\
These mother-fuckers are REALLY pushing this:
"You need to come to just ONE of these, and you'll keep coming back. It's AMAZING, OHH- I JUST CAME IN MY FUCKING PANTS- ORGHAGRGHAG!"
Fuck you very much.

wow....
my resume is all over the company. Although it's my crappy one from the time I was from the bank. It doesn't reflect all the improvements I've been making, ie Taking MCSE courses, 1 1/2 years of HP Server related PM experience. So far from what I'm hearing, everyone is deterring me from trying for the PM position, (saying that there is a lot of difficulties), but I'm going to stick with the game plan. No sense getting chickened out now. I think theyre going to talk to me about some BD spot (busiess developement). Forget that.
So, on goes the negotiation. In the meantime, it's on the grindstone.

Slapped down another $73.61 for miniaturin
2 electro static hemp mats (9.95 each) !! what a whoppin deal! Their pricing was all jacked. The same type of mat had 3 different prices ranging from 9.95 to 18 bucks. Uh... it didn't take me long to figure out which one to take. Also got some cool Trees which cost 40 bucks.... ouch... and some cool telephone poles. Still have to get some wood boards from Home Depot. So far, buying all this shit has cost me over 240 bucks and I haven't even played my miniatures yet. I'm thinking if it's all worth it. Probably is...
Jon! Seriously! glad you didn't buy that Awesome, mind-boggling, Joy device. Many times, I get tempted to buy, while walking down the aisles of target, walmart, soft etc, frys, and seeing all those new games. But it's all about resisting that childish temptation. It's time to give it up my friend, no matter how nalstalgic the feeling may be. I'm limiting myself to social gaming only as a sign of my progression.
Spent all Sunday at work reviewing the Microsoft material in order to give me an advantage in the Interview. That way I will know what I'm talking about and add an immediate value. I think this will increase my chances of getting the job. I'm prepared for war.

$19.99 Well-Unspent
I faced a dire test of my Vow of Video Game Chastity today.
Whilst wandering the red-shirt’d aisles of Targêt, I came across what looked like an old-school Atari joystick packaged in plastic. Noticing an As-Seen-On-TV logo, I investigated further. Turns out this joystick actually plugs into your TV via AV cables and has 10 old-skool 2600 games built into a chip in its base. All you need is the joystick, your TV, and some AA batteries. Twenty bones. Friggin’ awesome. It had, um, let’s see. Asteroids, Missile Command, Centipede, Adventure (which I always wanted to play, and still sort of do), er, something called Gravitar, Atari Circus (?), and some others I can’t remember. If it’d had Pitfall, I would have gone for it. As it was, I picked it up and returned it twice before finally walking away. Phew.
The Tailor of Panama
This was a pretty cool flick! I mean, it’s no The Tuxedo or A Gnome Gnamed Gnorm or Leprechaun n’ Tha Hood, or whatever Ja-El and Bobby have been watching lately. But if you like kind of slower-paced “spy” movies (ie, not like James Bond) this is a good one... it’s basically a kind of dramatic comedy, or “dramedy” (like Frank’s Place). What I’m saying is, this movie is pretty funny in addition to the serious elements, which surprised me. I haven’t seen too many thrillers that try to be funny without being parodies. Anyway... Pierce Brosnan plays a sort of low-key parody on Bond, in that he’s a womanizing MI6 agent, but he’s a total sleazebag and a bit of a doofus. All the characters are really well-developed, the end is very clever, and all in all it was one of the better two hours I’ve spent movie-viewing lately. It was really just a very unique movie.
Oh, the tailor maks a couple of suits, but the whole thing isn’t about that, if that changes your opinion.

Hey, I like sushi too! After you take your class, can you mail me some? Send along my copy of Chinatown too.
Oh, and Warhammer is now officially spelled "Wharhammer." I saw that on RPGnet and it's just a better spelling.
Yes, I sawr that and thought, "That's a great idear!" (Rides off on toy train into tunnel.)
Vicki, toth the salad!

oh my god, sushi
I'm gonna sign up for a "sushi making" course that they have at the jc out here! I friggin LOVE certain kinds of sushi, and if I can figure out how to make some GOOD spicy tuna rolls n shit like that, oh.my.god. I will commit sushi-cide.
Review: Head Of State: Saw it last night. It was funny- not the funniest movie, but it had some just ridiculously funny parts. It had some lame slow parts too, but the good out-wieghed the bad.

vin diesel IS supar-cool
They had Vin Diesel on Conan last night, and Conan was all "So, I hear that you have a very NERDY side to your past that a lot of fans might not know about." And sexay Vin said "Well, I used to play Dungeons & Dragons!" And then they talked about it for like half the interview. Vin says hes been playing "D&D" for 24 years (I don't think hes much older than 30) and he even said in the movie xXx, one of his fake tattoos said "Melkor" which was the name of his "Drow Witch-Hunter" character! It was pretty sweet- he was all "I was rolling TWENTY SIDED DICE!" He's one of us! EDIT: He's one of you guys!

Brilliant
Space Ghost: "See, Old Kentucky shark is the brand new mascot of the failing liqour chain that bought us."
Zorak: "Ohhhh... so know there is a liquor store involved."
Space Ghost: Look, in the heat of conversation Zorak I may have said certain things I don't believe to be true.
Zorak: So You lied?
Space Ghost: Are you slow? The aledged lie that you might have heard, me saying, aledgedly moments ago, that's a parasite that lives in my neck.
Elrichter, the line goes like this. I forgot the talkshow part: "This next question is brought to you by Old Kentucky Shark of Kentucky Nightmare Talkshow Liquor Corporation"
Ahhh.. yes my documentary.
Dumb people haul trash around

Look, dirt.
My itinerary: Fly Southwest to Houston departing 8.20am, arrival 1.25pm, rent a mini-van, drive 250 miles to Dallas, and sleep. Wake up, do work, drive the mini-van 250 miles back to Houston, do work, sleep. Wake up, drive 90 miles to Beaumont, do work, sleep. Wake up, drive 90 miles to Houston, turn in rental car, fly home, arrive @ 2.30pm in LAX. Lot's of AudBlogs from the road, I guarantee. And I am taking orders for "Don't Mess With Texas" merchandise...
Hey look, more dirt.
Old Kentucky Shark from the Kentucky Nightmare Liquor Corporation. Are you kidding me? How someone could POSSIBLY come up with something that funny is beyond me. And the wheezing shark? Truly, brilliant.

I forgot about those sweet names in Rocky III. Sounds like character names I would come up with if I were writing a movie script. Johnny You need to lay down the law with your boss. Just barge right in there with your paint ball gun and light him up if he won't give you a 7% raise at least.
Elron: Yeah I still have Space Ghost on my machine. I also have it on video tape in storage. That show is great. Old Kentucky Shark from the Kentucky Nightmare Liquor Corporation. Brilliant. I swear I will never lose that one.
Gotta run to work. Later Skaters.
